The graduate program is offered for the degree of Master of Science with a major in Enterprise Computing. Faculty from the College of Business and the College of Engineering participate in this program. Course work is offered through the departments of Logistics, Operations, and Management Information Systems; Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering; and Electrical and Computer Engineering. Graduates of this program will be able to address the need for designing, analyzing, and implementing scalable enterprise systems.

This program provides advanced studies in the principles and practices of information engineering for enterprise-wide systems. Course work includes a core set of courses supplemented by electives selected from lists of possible courses. The creative component provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their ability to integrate their education in addressing a problem of current interest in the field. A minimum of 27 course credits are required with 3 credits of Creative Component for the group project.

Students interested in the interdepartmental major apply and are admitted to both a home department (the department that is most closely aligned with the student’s research interest and

background) and to the program. The typical student admitted to the program will 1) be in the top quartile in an accredited undergraduate engineering, science, or business program (with grade point approximately 3.00 or better), 2) have GRE scores of at least 700 (Q), 4.5 (A), 520 (V) or GMAT scores of at least 630. A TOEFL score of at least 230 is typical of international students from non-English language countries. Other undergraduate majors will be reviewed on an individual basis.
